Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayed By My Mate Saved By His Rival: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Ethan's POVOn the screen, Lilith and I were naked, kissing passionately. The timestamp was from three years ago."Oh my god..." A gasp went through the crowd.White-hot rage blinded me. I lunged for the projector, desperate to kill the image.But the video kept playing."Stop it!" I roared. "Shut it down now!"But the equipment seemed to be controlled remotely. I couldn't turn it off.Worse, the screen switched.Now it was showing a series of photos.Lilith holding Leo as a baby.Leo's first, second, and third birthday pictures.Every photo had a clear timestamp.And the dates were a lie detector, screaming in my face. They proved Leo was born long before I ever touched her."This is impossible..." I muttered.The murmurs in the crowd grew louder."Alpha, what is this?""That pup looks at least four years old!"Then the screen changed again.This time, it was filled with lines of text.Mind-link messages.Sender: Lilith Crowe.Recipient: Seraphina Blackwood.I read the first message.

Ethan's POVI bolted from the hall. My Beta's voice echoed in my head through our mind-link."Alpha, the guards said the last sighting of the Luna was at the penthouse."Our home. The thought was a prayer, a desperate hope. She wouldn't leave me. She's waiting for me. At home. I had to get back to Seraphina.To tell her the truth. To tell her I was wrong. To tell her I loved her."Alpha!" My Beta chased after me. "Your car keys!"I snatched the keys and jumped into my sports car.The engine roared, tires screeching against the pavement.I slammed my foot on the gas, and the car shot out of the parking garage like an arrow.The world became a blur. My heart hammered against my ribs, a war drum chanting her name. Sera-fina. Sera-fina. Sera-fina.Seraphina...My Luna...I'll make it up to you. I swear it. No more doubts. No more pain. Just... please, Goddess, please... let me have one more chance. Forgive me, Sera. Please forgive me.Red lights? I blew through them. Speed limits? I didn't

Ethan's POV"Sera!" The name was a song on my lips as I threw open the office door.The woman in my chair turned around.It wasn't Seraphina. It was Lilith.The song died. My smile froze, then shattered."What the hell are you doing here?""Ethan..." She stood up. "I have nowhere else to go.""Get out.""Please, just let me explain...""GET OUT!" I roared.My Beta rushed in. "Alpha?" He looked from me to Lilith, his face a mask of confusion. "I thought... you said the Luna...""What Luna?" I spun on him. "Who are you talking about?""Well... Miss Lilith," he said, confused. "You just announced today...""She is not my Luna!" I roared, the sound ripping from my throat. "She is not my mate! There is only one. Now find her!""Alpha, calm down...""Calm down?" I grabbed him by the collar. "My mate is missing, and you want me to calm down?""Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away," my Beta said quickly."I don't care what it costs. Burn through our resources. Track every flight, hack every

Ethan's POVI stood up from the sofa and wiped the tears from my face."You're right," I said, looking at my mother. "I was a fool.""Good, you know it," her tone softened slightly. "Now, listen to my plan...""No." I cut her off. "I will handle the pack, but not your way.""What do you mean?""I will hold a press conference. Not to clear Lilith's name," I said, walking to the door, "but to announce every one of her crimes.""Ethan!" my mother ran after me. "You can't do that! It will completely destroy our reputation!""Reputation?" I sneered. "What good is a reputation built on the bodies of pup?""Your father made a similar choice once..."I spun around. "What?"My mother realized her mistake and clamped her mouth shut."What about my father?" I cornered her. "Tell me!""Nothing..." she backed away. "I just...""Tell me!" I roared, my Alpha command shaking the room.Forced to speak, she said, "Your father also had a mistress when he was young. He did foolish things for her...""So y

Ethan's POV"Hahaha..." A wild laugh burst from my lips. "Lilith, you know what?"She stared at me, her eyes wide, as if I were a madman."You know nothing," I laughed, a broken, jagged sound. "You're a creature of ambition. You could never understand the pull of a fated soul. It's a fire in the blood. A law of nature.""What?""You don't know the feeling," I kept laughing. "That indescribable connection when two fated souls truly bond.""You're insane...""Insane? Maybe." I wiped away a tear. "But I know Seraphina will forgive me.""What?" Lilith couldn't believe it."Because it's true love," my smile turned gentle. "Not the shallow possessiveness you understand.""You killed her pup!" Lilith shrieked. "You pushed her daughter off a cliff with your own hands! How could she ever forgive you?""She will," I said, the certainty in my voice absolute. "Because the Goddess bound our souls long before we were born. She doesn't have a choice. I am her choice.""Hahahaha..." Lilith burst into
